Rotor Clip CG-100ST Oil External Spiral Retaining Ring

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP CG-100ST OIL is an external spiral retaining ring designed for 1-inch shaft diameter applications. It seats in a machined groove on the shaft and provides axial retention for bearings, gears, pulleys, and similar components. The ring is manufactured from SAE 1060-1090 steel (UNS G10600-G10900) and finished with an oil coating that provides light corrosion protection and eases installation. Key dimensions include a 0.94-inch groove diameter, a 0.042-inch ring thickness, and a 0.046-inch groove width. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals use this ring in shaft assemblies across industrial and mechanical equipment applications.

This retaining ring is suited for use in shaft assemblies requiring a compact, low-profile external retention solution. The spiral design allows installation without specialized snap-ring pliers in many configurations, making it practical for tight clearance environments. It is appropriate for use in rotating assemblies, gearboxes, drive shafts, pumps, and similar mechanical systems where a standard external groove retaining ring is specified. The inch-system dimensions make it compatible with assemblies designed to SAE and standard inch-measurement shaft tolerances.

• Oil finish over SAE 1060-1090 steel for light corrosion resistance and lubricity
• Conforms to SAE 1060-1090, UNS G10600-G10900, and ISO 13485:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style external spiral retaining ring for 1-inch shaft diameter applications using standard inch-series groove dimensions per SAE specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of spiral retaining rings should be performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with shaft retention hardware. Ensure the shaft groove dimensions match the ring specifications before installation, and verify the groove is free of burrs or damage that could affect seating. Disengage all rotating equipment and release any stored energy before servicing shaft assemblies. Avoid over-stressing the ring during installation, as plastic deformation will compromise retention force.
